Treatment for a hip fracture

Posted By scoreboardgh77

"Treatment for a hip fracture"

About: Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital St John Ambulance WA

(as a carer),

My 97 year old mother fell and fractured her hip on Wednesday 13 August. Every single medical professional, from the paramedics, Esther and Dave, to the emergency ward staff, the surgical team and nurses at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital delivered gold standard care and treatment. Special mention to Henry, the doctor on duty who treated mum with such respect and professionalism and the surgical team led by Dr G whose skill enabled her to walk without pain the day after surgery. We are so grateful to you all for your kindness, compassion and skill. The physiotherapist at mum’s aged care facility was amazed at the skill involved in the surgery.

Dear scoreboardgh77,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience of the care your mother received at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital following her recent fall.

I am delighted to hear that your mother received such high-quality care throughout her journey, from the paramedics and Emergency Department staff through to the surgical team and nurses involved in her care and treatment.

Your kind words about the staff members and the wider team are greatly appreciated. It is wonderful to hear that our staff were able to provide such compassionate, respectful and patient-centred care, and I will ensure your feedback is shared with the staff involved.

Thank you again for your kind words and I wish your mother all the very best for her continued recovery.

Warm regards,
